THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO A FAB MALIBU VACAY

Malibu, the famous beach city in Los Angeles located on the PCH, offers picturesque views of the Pacific Ocean and some of the freshest seafood options.

It’s definitely worth the visit to this incredible paradise Miley Cyrus sings so fondly of!

DO AS MILEY & SPEND THE SUMMER IN MALIBU

WHAT TO DO

GO ON A WINE TOUR IN THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS

Malibu wine country may not have Napa’s clout, but vineyards in Malibu produce plenty of tasty wines. Wineries are spread throughout the Malibu foothills of the beautiful Santa Monica Mountains. You’re best off utilizing a tour to visit a few spots in one go. Retro VW van tours and small-group vineyard excursions are two options that include some of the best tasting rooms. Check out the beautiful Saddlerock Ranch on a wine hike tour, which includes a take-home bottle of wine!

SIP VINO & WATCH THE SUNSET AT THIS GORGEOUS BEACH

Make the drive past Will Rogers and Surfrider beaches and you’ll be rewarded with a clean, wide patch of sand and surf at Zuma. This Malibu beach accommodates crowds with plenty of on-site parking and lifeguards on duty. Directly to the south, you’ll find Point Dume State Beach, with both hikers and climbers scaling its iconic namesake rock face and strolling through seasonal wildflower fields atop its crown. This is a beautiful spot to bring a bottle of wine and watch the sunset on a cute picnic blanket!🍷
